Chapter 763: Fu Jingyou, rising
After arriving in Guangzhou, Matou did call me once.
But by then Fu Jingyou had already packed up his things and set off with Shi An back to his hometown in the south.
The person who was paged by the post office to answer the phone was Lu Miao.
Hearing Lu Miao's voice, Ma Tou was stunned for a while.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally explained the purpose of the call.
He said that Lu Miao packed some braised eggs for him, and his grandmother at home said they were delicious.
I asked Fu Jingyou if I could make a few and send them over to him if he goes to Guangzhou next time.
Lu Miao smiled and said "OK".
On the other end of the phone, Matou was so happy that he kept saying thank you.
Lu Miao smiled and wished everyone a happy new year in advance, said a few words casually, and then hung up the phone.
On the way back from the post office, the sky was foggy and snow was falling again.
Lu Miao gathered his clothes tightly and looked up at the snow, wondering if the child's father had gotten off the car.
——Thousands of miles away.
Different from the gloomy winter in the north.
In the south, dark green camphor trees, pine trees, evergreens, etc. can be seen everywhere in winter.
It was Shi An’s first time to spend the winter in the south. He kept leaning on the car window and looking out along the way, curious about everything.
When Lu Miao was thinking about them, they just got off the bus.
I thought I would have to walk back against the wind, but as soon as I got off the train, I was surrounded by a group of people.
As the work assignment had not yet been finalized, Fu Jingyou had not yet returned to his hometown to report it.
But what he didn't know was that on Lu Yuanzheng's side, the school followed the procedures and had already passed the good news to his hometown.
Calculating the time, it was almost the time when he had his first phone call with Hu Zhiyuan.
Deputy director of a state-owned factory, deputy section-level cadre!
Equivalent to township party officials and township mayors.
There are people in the county who are higher-ranking and more powerful than him.
But he is only a little older?
And he just graduated.
In comparison, the future is even more exciting and promising.
There is only one such talent in the entire county.
Knowing that he was coming back, both the county and town departments sent people to pick him up.
There is no need to go back.
Not only did they not have to leave, but each party also gave them gifts.
Rice, grain, oil, coupons, and even money.
They all said it was a reward for him.
Fu Jingyou couldn't refuse, so he had to accept the gifts and write down which items were sent by which people.
Later, people in the county heard that he came back this time to renovate his ancestral home.
I was afraid that he would transfer his household registration and never come back.
The county quickly arranged for him to obtain brick and tile approvals in a clear and detailed manner.
This type of note is the hardest to get.
Fu Jingyou originally thought that it would take a lot of effort, but he didn't expect it to be settled so easily?
Then there's the matter of repairing the house.
He was ready to do a big job, and the county and town also arranged people to come and help.
In the end, what really kept him busy were the various dinner parties in the brigade, town and county.
That's how the world works.
Once a person starts to gain momentum, the world and the surroundings will show an exceptionally brilliant and inclusive side.
During the time that Fu Jingyou was back home, the threshold of the He family was almost trampled down.
Not to mention that the leaders of the nearby production teams and the secretaries of the town commune often came to our house.
Even members of the same village and surrounding production brigades came to visit every day.
There is no one who does not praise Fu Jingyou for his promising future.
That scene, everyone's eyes were full of stars.
That enthusiasm, that affectionate smile, they wished Fu Jingyou was their own son or son-in-law.
The old couple of the He family heard and saw it all, and they were relieved. Their faces were shining and they were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
But sometimes when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she couldn't help but sigh that Lu Miao and the three children were not able to come back with her.
After all, it’s the New Year. How nice it would be if you could come back?
The whole family is together and having a lively time. Just thinking about it is a joy.
…
As time went by, life in the south became more and more chaotic.
North.
Last year, the Ling family jumped in line and got the New Year's wine, but this year it fell back to the Lu family.
Lu Yuanzheng discussed this with his family early on to see how to best handle this matter.
Tang Mei never had any ideas.
Lu Miao just thought of one thing at a time and mentioned hot pot and then roasted lamb.
In the middle of winter, sitting around a warm stove, feeling warm and enjoying the delicious food, is such a comforting thought.
But she swore she just wanted a little show.
It's definitely different from what her father thought.
If she had known that her father would bring back a live sheep the next day, she would never have said those words.
My original thought was that whether it was hot pot or barbecue, I could wash fewer dishes.
Now, look what’s happening. They want to slaughter and skin it, which is not enough trouble.
However, the one who was most tired from this matter was Lu Yuanzheng.
After all, Lu Miao and Tang Mei couldn't help much with the job of slaughtering the sheep.
It was also Lu Yuanzheng's first time. He tried it in the yard early the next morning and ended up competing with the sheep for the whole morning.
Not only did he fail to kill the sheep, but he was also splashed with snow and water by the sheep's struggles and kicking.
Unable to figure it out, Lu Yuanzheng sat at the long table in the main hall, covered in mud, with a sullen face.
Tang Mei was nagging him beside him:
"You bought the land for the sheep but can't kill them? Can't you just talk to them and give them an extra two dollars?"
"Now the yard is so smelly!"
“…”
Lu Yuanzheng pursed his lips, frowned and glared at Tang Mei.
Seeing that he couldn't scare her, he didn't stay at home anymore. He changed his clothes and went out.
Tang Mei picked up the clothes he had taken off and washed them. Since no one listened to her nagging, she started nagging at the sheep in the yard.
"What a troublesome thing..."
Lu Yuanzheng didn't go out to go anywhere else.
I went to find help.
He couldn't kill the sheep by himself, so he had to deal with it.
Otherwise it would be just like what the child’s aunt said.
The yard is covered with sheep dung, and there are children at home.
Lu Yuanzheng found Chen Rivet.
Chen Rivet is originally from Shandong.
In some places over there, the mutton and mutton soup are made particularly well, so Lu Yuanzheng had chosen the right person.
The two men worked for two or three hours and finally slaughtered the sheep.
With Chen Rivet's guidance, the internal organs, which were difficult to cook, were also cleaned out.
In the evening, we have soup made with mutton offal.
Served with white pepper and coriander leaves, it tastes a little spicy in the throat, but the taste is extraordinary.
It is very cold in the north in winter. Whether you make dumplings or buy meat, if you put them outside the house, they will become a natural refrigerator and freeze immediately.
The food would not go bad at this time, but the small courtyard could not consume so much, so he cut off a lamb front leg and gave it to Chen Rivet to take back.
Half a pair of mutton offal was also given.
After dinner at night, when I saw Chen Rivet off.
Lu Yuanzheng repeatedly reminded about the time for the New Year's wine.
He said that all the children were at home and asked him to bring his grandchildren over when the time comes.
Chen Rivet smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and responded cheerfully.
